it took 4h :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Was the battery completely drained when you plugged the charger?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iscrewup:
Mine normally takes 3.5+ hours to charge from 0 to 100.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kubjnzzzle:
Not really, I started charge at around 15%
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
I wouldn't call that "so long". Its above normal and its very likely you've a damaged battery maybe due to overcharging or as i've read recently; over-drainage as that too is harmful for the batteey. In any case i wouldnt freak out of that just yet and if you find it that annoying you can buy a new battery with an even extended life.

Is it just me or is something fishy going on...

Example:

DINC Battery 1750 mAh small battery fits stock phone.

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17hhrv.htm

TBolt Battery 1600 mAh small battery fits stock phone.

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi16htmec.htm

Both batteries are the same size and the only difference is contact placement.

I think there is some false advertisement going on because they are calming one is 1600 mAh and the other is 1750 mAh... If the DINC battery is truthfully a 1750 mAh why not just sell it for the TBolt with the different contact placement? :confused:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gadget!:
You can't tell by the pictures, but the Thunderbolt battery is not the same size.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ckochinsky125:
thunderbolt battery is different size like a few mm difference.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] livestrong2012:
Has anybody gotten a hold of one of these?! Curious as to how they hold up.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] loztboy:
I don't trust mah ratings from aftermarket batteries. They are usually inflated numbers and frankly not worth the $25 increase over a stock battery just to gain an extra 200 mah. For the price of one of sedio's extended batteries you could buy two stock batteries. Just something to think about.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] uncjax:
I got one and honestly it might be worse
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gadget!:
I have used the Seidio batteries in my last 2 phones and have had great luck with them.

I have one coming for my TB, I will post results when I get it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Irish Cream:
me too, about to complain and send back
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mbh87:
You are better off buying the set of 3 with charger on eBay for 12 bucks.

Here is a comparison someone did with quite a few different batteries.

http://batteryboss.org/
[Thunderbolt Accessories] loztboy:
They make great cases but that's about it. The batteries are a rip off.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rotorocker:
I'm waiting on the 1600 seidio battery myself. hopefully it comes tomorrow.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] kendive:
I agree. I don't buy them anymore...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Chris Hansen:
I bought one and will let you guys know how it goes. A coworker of mine has been searching, and I guess a bunch of people on Droidforums have had great success (30+ hours with moderate-heavy usage). I just got mine fully charged last night, so I will let you know after I run it out.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Pithism:
good im waiting for the same battery anything can be better than the current battery
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Pithism:
i just got my new 1600 battery.

quick question should i kill the battery first then charge it, or should i charge it right away.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] destroyerbmx:
typically say charge first, over charge, after it's full bump it and let it sit for 2 more hours. So the battery companies say.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Pithism:
ok il definitely do that

ever since i was little i always have killed the battery to 0 then charged it fully

just something someone told me as a kid, but i didn't know if it applied to new better phones
[Thunderbolt Accessories] FoxRacR17:
ordered one of the 1600 batteries also from amazon, will let you know how it goes when i get my thunderbolt and this battery from amazon :)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] nosympathy:
If it is a li-ion battery discharging it all the way to 0 isn't a good thing.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] solidunit:
FYI Dinc batteries are physically larger than mytouch4g/tbolt batteries. Hence the bigger maH ratings.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Richard713:
def waiting to see what you guys come up with, seems to be alot of diff opinions about the after market battery options, i love the phone but i dont want to have to suffer with charging the phone 2-3 times a day...
[Thunderbolt Accessories] destroyerbmx:
I am not a chemist but I know anything under 20% on li-ion is considered a deep cycle charge, if you dont unplug it until its done. thats the main thing, I run it to about 1% on the first few charges to get my bstats to read a full cycle, I dont want to set the bar charging at 20%, the phone might think the battery is dead then I miss out on 1/5 of the remaining battery. Besides I dont think the phone will run the battery to true 0%, I think after it kills it enough it will automatically power down.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Chris Hansen:
The instructions said to charge it fully, which takes up to 8 hours for the first charge, then it recommended for max battery to let it charge an additional 2 hours afterward. I did this, and I didn't really notice an increase in battery (unplugged at 10 AM, died before 11 PM), wiping battery stats and will be back with my findings.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] destroyerbmx:
you wont get anything from the first charge, my first charge on the standard battery lasted only about 3 hours, but now I have it lasting for 12 hours. I would say about the 4th charge you will be seeing what battery life is like on the 1600ma.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ddukes76:
Bought the 2750, not the 1600 batt with new cover from VZ. Best investment. Ill get a holder where the screen faces in, and ill be golden! W/ corp disc, it was 34bux to my door.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Dxun:
This. The day i got my Seido in the mail was the 2nd day my stock battery was lasting 18 hours with some decent use. Also was the day i rooted and started messing with roms. Going to take a few days before i can see how this battery performs now that i found a rom im comfortable with.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] masri1987:
im on my second charge on the 1600mah battery , first charge died quick, second charge is dying quick.. seido states that it takes multiple charges to benefit the most.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Chris Hansen:
I wasn't expecting to, just sharing findings with those who are a little less involved with their phones. I wiped battery stats after the phone recharged. It's already been better, can't wait to see it after it's fully calibrated.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] tommyxv:
I have the 2750ma extended battery. I unplugged from my charger at 9:30am Sunday morning.

Here is my phone usage for the day....

Total talk time 1hr 2 mins

Sent and received 184 messages

Downloaded and installed 7 apps from the Market

Took 12 pics.

Been surfing the web on 4G on and off all day.

Been playing games for about 1 hr total.

And pretty much been messing with the phone settings all day and still setting it up the way I want.

Now I am home 2:20am Monday morning (17 hrs later), and I have 43% batt remaining.

I am very happy with the extended battery. Makes the phone better to grip and hold too. I am rooted and using Bloat Freezer. No custom Roms.

I have just updated to the USCC 2.2 from their website.

I had been running the EC10 that was here but went back to stock until official was out.

what do I need to do to install the voodoo kernel? and make this thing rooted and run faster?
[Samsung Mesmerize] mestes:
never mind I flashed the EC10 Pnp with Power Options0.2 and the EC10 Addons Pack and EA11-Voodoo Kernel.

If I install all the addon packs does that basically make it the same thing as stock?
[Samsung Mesmerize] cpfeifer:
Aside from the other differences, yes.

Swyped using USCC Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
There are no power options in EC10 pick and pack, yet. You'd be referring to the combo rom that phidelt released awhile back.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mestes:
what I did was flash the stock EC10 2.2.1 found at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881064

then rooted the phone with superoneclick

then flashed EC10 Mesmerize Pick-n-Pack 0.3 and the EC10 Addons Pack and EA11-Voodoo Kernel.

He added power option in the 0.2 version of the EC10 Pnp rom

0.3 has puzzle unlock screen

[Vibrant General] TWwhatsup:
I know I am immediately going to get flamed for this....even then what the H....

Ok....I always loved TW roms and also donated in the past.....but recently esp after 3/1...TW has disappeared into this veil of secrecy....

I thought the biggest ideological difference between Apple & Android is....Sharing!!

Isn't this Apple's style....we are making something and we know better than you that it is good for you!! I know its very hard to share WIP but isn't the idea to share the progress/development of product even when its under construction???:confused:
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
first android is about sharing which is why TW follows the gpl and releases kernel source code and anything else they are required to by the apache gpl.

that said they are by no means required to show you their progress on a rom or what ever it is they are developing that is their business. Google doesnt keep us updated every step of the way with their modifications to android.

and finally you created a username just for this??? cmon man
[Vibrant General] blader3759:
You created a new Xda name just to rag on TW cause you dont have the balls to post from your real name. and two your the reason devs are leaving SHUT THE FUK UP YOU TROLL!
[Vibrant General] TWwhatsup:
I am not going to glorify you with you a response...but real name...your rela name is blader? what you going to name your son ball?
[Vibrant General] carlcj5:
Wow youve got some nerve! TW don't owe you sh¡t ....open source means YOU can go look up and add or change things....not demand that for instance TW owes you something ...they don't work for you or for any of us,they do what they do for fun and enjoyment.....go away before you drive our devs away

[Vibrant General] Bruce lee roy:
Just want to give my 2 cents on this one: @OP STFU! and I mean that with all sincerity. Wtf are you talking about? Do you realize how stupid you sound? And you didn't even have the balls to use your real user name. I bet your one of those loosers that always ask for updates. Please do us all a favor and jump off the tallest building you can find.

Attn: please no one else reply to this post. It honestly doesn't deserve any more attention.
[Vibrant General] deadpass:
While I also have been wondering what TW has been working on I don't think they owe me an update. In fact, since they've been so quiet I can only assume they've been working on something really big which will be worth the wait.
[Vibrant General] ScooterG:
You sir, are Bi-Losing. :(
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Ehh, no worries man, I think they're working on something Great, or taking a well deserved break, they've done more than enough for us, that being said, they don't have to share ( I would like them too, but it's not required ) and I kind of like the surprises they give us :D

+1 for me having the nicest response :D
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
Uh.....what?

This post doesn't make any sense.

Som is barely back from taking time off and he's already working on his projects again. Krylon needed a rest too. Tonicacid has been continually working on his fantastic themes and has kept in contact with the TW community.

FFS, these ppl have real lives with real **** going on. Iunno about you, but I'm not about to ask these guys to leave the important stuff just to come make a ROM for my phone.

The sad part of the whole thing is that ppl would've known wtf was going on if they bothered to follow the dev's twitter or their communities where they said that they'd be taking time off in the first place.

Seriously, the sense of entitlement I'm seeing on these forums is starting to make me sick. If this crap keeps going on, even more dev's are gonna jump off of XDA and make private communities like Eugene did.

@OP, please, if you really gave a crap about what's up with TW, effing get up off of your ass and look at the OPs in their posts; they contain the links to their forum and their FB.

You know how TW works: they want to put out quality stable ROMs, Som keeps us up with his work and even updates us periodically on what's going on. Hell, he even recently asked us about what features we'd like to see.

.....and yes, +1 to cashy for being nice (because god knows I've completely lost my patience). :p
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
The reason for the secrecy is.....

TW is starring in their own reality show! Its called 'Android OS's next top coder'. On the show, a shadowy executive gives devs assignments and tasks to complete on a series of different Android phones.

The dev that does the worst has to face off in a challenge against a dev who is voted for elimination.

Most of these challenges involve hacking bootloaders or disassembling SIM code.

Its ZANY! The rest of the episode has interviews and confessions of devs and clips of them debugging and compiling code.

Exciting stuff
[Vibrant General] Danielpc:
+1 The word on their facebook group page is that new updates will be on the TW forum and not XDA. With crap like this, I cannot blame them.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
What software do you guys recommend to start out developing? I'm just planning on starting simple with modifying apks and such. I assume I'd need some sort of java sdk to edit .smali and another program for xml editing. What are some good free software programs to do this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
you will want apk manager - for modifying existing apks

gimp for modifying images

android sdk

and possibly eclipse if you intend to start making your own applications (you will need java jdk to use eclipse)

notepad++ for xml editing

^^ this is what i use then again i am still a novice at development

Damn romann, this is some good shizz. Thanks brother.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
First roman, cheers on great work, =)

Ironically though, this is something apk tool already does, lol.

If you have a framework without a battery mod, just drop in the new xml files in /res/drawable and then drop the new png files in /drawable-whatever and compile. Apktool will automatically assign resource id's to every new png without duplicating anything.

If you have a framework with a battery mod, and you're only adding new files to it, the exact same steps work. If you're removing files, just go into /res/values/public.xml and delete all the stat_sys_battery_xxxx and stat_sys_battery_charge_anim_xxx lines that appear after (and including the line) stat_sys_battery_1 then compile.

I've never had a problem with this method.

Cheers, =)

Sounds like you didn't put the total number of images into the command, I'd copy and paste for you, but thats a pita on the app. Refer to the OP, and be sure to include the total number of images your adding in the proper place in your command.

Can I use this for other PNGs other than battery one? I want to add 5 extra indeterminate_progressbar PNGs to public.xml..........Or can you plz. help me with any other tool????

EDIT:-Got it anyways!!
[Vibrant Android Development] sykomaniac:
All those having an issue with the tool producing duplicate IDs its due to the writing out using getCurrentHex() which obviously returns the current hex not a new one.

Instead it should be something like: formatHex(Integer.toString(getNextFreeHex(), 16)).

Also an issue with file paths when just running the java version...
[Vibrant Android Development] aayushARM:
so can you tell me how can I solve it?? I sometimes egt true but sometimes duplicate ID !!:confused::( Can you tell me how can I edit it??

If you use apk manager it will add the images to public.xml for you. Just mod the two battery xmls, add the images and recompile.

I've looked around but haven't seen anything current on this.

Is there a way to remove th Emergency Call button from the Lockscreens?(pattern, pin)

From what I understand it is a widget and I tried to remove it rendering my phone not able to pass boot up. That was horrible.

So any info on this would be great.

p.s. for GingerTazz
[Droid Eris General] winchendonsprings:
no ideas on how to get this button out of there?
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No, not unless there are replacement pattern/pin lockscreen apps, similar to WidgetLocker is a replacement lockscreen, but it doesn't appear to have pattern/pin capabilities.
[Droid Eris General] winchendonsprings:
There's got to be a way to just go into the apk and remove one or two lines of code to make it not appear. I know that's hacky leaving the unneeded code in there, but I don't care I really hate the button.

Anyone know what apk it is?
[Droid Eris General] Stonent:
Probably so hard to remove because the FCC mandates that all phones even ones that aren't activated have to be able to make emergency calls.
[Droid Eris General] slane35:
How much time do you spend looking at your lock screen anyway?

+1 for this:
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Actually, quite a bit since I bought WidgetLocker replacement lock screen last July or August.
[Droid Eris General] winchendonsprings:
It's not the amount of time I spend looking at it, but rather the number of times I have to look at it. Every time I take my phone from my pocket and swipe my pattern or enter my pin I see it, which is . . . a lot.
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
ROFL! Very well worded and to the point!
[Droid Eris General] winchendonsprings:
I'd even be a little more happy if the emergency button was incorporated into the pin pad like THIS

Rather than THIS
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
FYI second screen shot is broke at the moment.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TenderStew:
For some reason, ever since I installed the Savage mod rom 1.1 My phone doesn't vibrate when i receive text messages. Has anyone experienced this with a rom before? (I can't post in the thread because I have less than 10 posts lol)

When I'm selecting the volume for the phone it does vibrate, just not when im receiving text messages. It also vibrates when I'm getting calls.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I'm also currently on that ROM. I hadn't noticed, I'll test it right now and report back shortly.

Edit: Vibrating working fine for me on texts. At first it didn't, but then went into the messages app settings, and there is a setting in there for vibrate. It can be on 'only when silent', 'always', or 'never'. On mine, it was pre set to 'never'. changed it to always, and vibrate works fine.

You can still use Theme Chooser (built into CM7 ROMs) or Metamorph for that kind of thing, I think.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winchendonsprings:
right off the bat I chose Cyanbread from theme chooser. It would be cool if the notification bar had the carbon fiber look to follow suit.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I guess it just depends on how much the theme is designed to change. I think there are some themes in the Eris Theme section which change the notifications look.
